Mushrooms are one of the most beloved and common mushrooms among Russians, they are used in the preparation of many dishes or used as a separate dish in a salted form. The most interesting thing is that in many other states and countries, breasts are equated to grebes and are not considered edible.
False breasts
To date, there are a considerable number of varieties of breasts. One such variety is the false breast. They are called false because they look like ordinary and familiar breasts, but during growth inside the pulp of the mushroom itself substances that are uncharacteristic for a simple breast appear. It is because of the presence of these substances in the people that these mushrooms are called "false breasts".
Differences
You can distinguish them from the usual white lump if you press a little on his hat. When pressed, it is much softer than its "real" counterpart, and if pressed harder, then a few drops of milky liquid will leak out from under the cap. False mushrooms can also be recognized if they are broken: in the crack, again, the same white liquid.
Edibility
Despite the dubious name, the false breasts are edible, although this fact remains in doubt. The fact is that from ordinary mushrooms they are distinguished only by a white liquid substance contained in the pulp. If you eat such a mushroom, it will not lead to death or hallucinations, however, it is possible that the person who ate this mushroom will have to spend the near future in the restroom. This white substance can cause severe vomiting and diarrhea. That is why it is better to refuse such a delicacy, especially if a person has stomach problems.
Description
A hat of such a load is not just brown, but with a purple or blue tint. If you press a little on this hat, it will turn out to be very soft and, possibly, from the inside will begin to ooze, as mentioned above, a light liquid with a faint coconut aroma. The size of the fungus itself usually varies from four to eight centimeters. The shape of the cap is usually flat, but sometimes it can also be slightly concave inward. As the fungus grows on the leg, a flesh of a reddish hue, emitting a faint coconut aroma, can be noticed. Upon breaking the hat very quickly becomes dark or even black.
Where can I meet?
Before you go to the forest in search of mushrooms, be sure to study visual photos of all kinds that can be found in your local forests, this simple procedure will save you from many troubles. It is worth examining carefully and the white breast is false, because in appearance it is difficult to distinguish from ordinary, but you can verify its authenticity in the same way - put a little pressure on the hat, if it is soft, and white juice starts to ooze from it, so you stumbled upon the lump is false. Such mushrooms grow, as a rule, in large "flocks"; they are extremely rare singly. False breasts can be found both in impassable forest thickets and in clearings. Such mushrooms are unpretentious to environmental conditions. You can find such a mushroom only in the fall.
